Slashtastic Thursday with Layne Faire

Hey darlins, I managed to escape for another week to bring you some more tidbits of slashy goodness that you don’t want to miss.  I’ve got another great little one shot, along with a full length story that should not be missed in the fandom. This week’s one shot was an entry for the Spanking the Monkey contest and winner of the Judge’s Choice Best Slash award (and my personal favorite, too!).

He Who Dares, Watches

*Judges Vote winner for Best Slash in the Spanking the Monkey Contest* Edward extends a challenge to Jasper, Jasper accepts it. Edward watches, and is surprised by the strength of his reaction. AH, Edward/Jasper, slash, voyeurism, explicit adult content

 

Edward, Jasper, Emmett and Mike all play football for Forks High. After winning the last game of the season, the boys are running on a victory high. Pulling out beer and booze, they turn receiving a shot into a dare competition. Edward is dared to flash the care behind him, and in retaliation, he dares Jasper to rub one out right on the bus. Since he made the dare, he’s the one forced to watch to make sure Jasper doesn’t cheat. Fair enough, but why is he getting turned on watching? And why is Jasper staring at him like that? Fun bit of wanking fluff, check it out!  She plans to continue it this fall and I can’t wait!

Now, on to our full length story. 

Lessons Learned

Jasper and Edward become the best of friends through similar tragic events in their lives. Edward, the geeky messed up kid, soon starts getting some lessons from bad boy, Jasper on how to fit in...What will E end up teaching him? E/J Slash AH Mature

I finally caved into the pressure and began reading Lessons Learned EARLY Monday morning (like 1:00am early).  By the end of the third chapter, I was kicking myself for not having read it sooner.

In Lessons Learned we meet two damaged boys, trying to make their way in a world that has offered them little more than hurt for their formative years. Edward is the adopted son of Carlisle and Esme. Physically, emotionally, and sexually abused by his birth parent, he is a closed off eight year old when they find him and adopt him, hoping to heal the pain of the life he’d lived before he came to them. Jasper is the unwanted child of a drug and alcohol addicted single mother, and has little contact with his physically abusive ex-military father. They become friends by accident and, over time, deeper feelings evolve between them.

Jasper all but lives with the Cullens, taken under their care due to the indifference and neglect of his mother. Finally, she decides to leave town again, her MO when her life starts to unravel. She tries to force Jasper to leave with her, heaping abuse on his head, until Esme intervenes, resorting to a little violence of her own (Esme and Carlisle rock socks in this fic!), and Jasper’s mom gladly leaves him behind with the Edward and his family.

The boys come out to their close friends at school and Edward’s parents, but still opt to keep their relationship hidden from the general public, until someone outs them via a bulk text message to the entire student body. Forced out of the proverbial closet, the boys are put on their guard, knowing it is lonely a matter of time before it goes further. Then, after a street fight with the drug dealer that outed them, Jasper is returned to his father.  The stress of losing Jasper pushes Edward over the mental cliff he’s been teetering on, ands up committed to a mental institution.

I haven’t finished this one yet, but I am plowing through – having already read 32 chapters.  (Misty, I promise, the reviews are coming!)  The story completed in June and the sequel is already being posted, too. I can’t wait to finish Lessons Learned and move on to The Thing About Falling, the story of Brady, one of the minor characters from Lessons Learned.

So, that’s it for this week! Make sure you check them out and leave them some love! I’m off to see what other bit of fuckery I can get into before they realize I’ve gotten loose again. If you know of any slash stories and one shots you’d like to rec, please check in at the Twigasm Forum on FB or tweet them to me at @LayneFaire. Until next week, much love!
